This. Love that launch; no monkey business, squealling, etc..., just a good smooth weight transfer, stability, and traction.

That was my exact goal. Tune was setup perfectly to get off the line. It was a very nice and smooth launch.

Nope. All is good with it.

Easy to do when you start with a bigger cam, better engine and more free flowing heads. With a better TQ converter. 🫢

As you know I fought it a long time and you know I just give you a hard time. What you did isn’t east and you know I’m happy you did it. This has been one of the worst springs for da here

Seriously though congrats man, takes a lot of work and the right conditions to go 8s. I’ll get there one day, hopefully while I’m still physically able to drive it lol

Had some fun with the MSHS. car runs very consistent even in the heat and high DA. the little stock engine that could is still going strong. but to be competitive, some changes will be made soon! :devilish:
